Is the opening night edition coming?

 

One question.. why is the buffalo sabres ice logo the BuffaSlug from 2009? If possible please fix this.

Sorry but that box cover looks horrible. The image is too thin. It's common sense to preserve aspect ratio of image.

@Georgenothing is stopping you from creating your own, or not using it at all. I make this for myself and anyone interested. 

@Tabs3121 @JparkIve attached the update rom. Sorry for the delay.

Thank you @UltraMagnus, love the game, and really appreciate the time and effort you put into it.

It's okay! I've been enjoying the rom. I hope you keep it up and are able to make updates as the season goes on. Thanks again for the fixes you've made.

I'll be doing them monthly. Also if your interested we have an NHL95 online league as well. A few different ones.

The link is invalid.  Is the league still a thing?

Clearly I’m doing something wrong, but cannot join the discord.  Despite my incompetence, wanted to give kudos for an awesome game.  This is everything I hoped for and more. 
 

From a constructive feedback perspective, I did notice the rangers logo on the ice seems to be missing red, but not sure if that’s intentional.  Also getting crashes with the Prospect team.  And the roster for the Legends team in Shootout mode seems different than during regular season?  Those nitpicks aside, what a fantastic game and clear there was a ton of hard work.  Thank you!  This is amazing!

@ddmansearch in google wn95hl/nhl95 Or nhl94 discord they would have them there to join. 

@UltraMagnus One issue I noticed while playing 4 players-- the 4th player has a white star which is not distinguishable from the ice color. Are you able to change the star color to fix this?

Does this version have the season points bug fix?

Unfortunately no. Still looking for that 1 byte that has the limit of points. Its elusive.

If someone can send me a pair of savestates, one with the team before the bug, and one after, i can probably fix it. It screws up after 127 points, right? (127 is 1st place, 128+ is last place?)

@smozomaI think it has to do with the byte order. since the make is 256, which equates to half of that value. 128. Not sure if they are restricting it to something. Ill find it.

 

@smozomaTested it with the Jets to 63 points. Their location for their points are. Ive included the save state and the rom that was used.

Very cool to see if this can get fixed.

My guess is they used a "signed" single-byte operation in the sorting function. In signed values, when the highest bit is 1, the number becomes negative. So when you add 127+1, the answer is -128 due to using the 2's complement encoding. So the solution is probably to find the sorting routine and change the operator they used. For example there is BGT (branch if greater-than) and BHI (branch if higher), one is signed, one is unsigned (I forget which is which).

Thanks!

I think I fixed it. But someone will need to win all the games to prove it... (or hack the save to add more wins).

It should fix the standings display sorting, and hopefully the same code is used to decide who makes the playoffs.

(ROM removed.. see next post)

 

I found a 2nd location with the exact same sorting code. Not sure where it's used, but I fixed it too:

NHL23(95)-pointfix2.bin

@UltraMagnus

There is a bug in playoffs as well where it doesn't alternate home & away. One team will be home the entire series. Is it possible to fix that as well?

That one's not as straight forward to fix, unfortunately.

Please direct any replies about the points limit bug to this other thread: https://forum.nhl94.com/index.php?/topic/18600-nhl-95-full-season-bug/#comment-195911

 

Once the trade deadline is passed, will this rom's rosters be updated? I wanted to make the moves myself, but it just crashes. 

always appreciate this guy! 

I'd love to play in an online league, can I please get a discord invite.
